In May, the White House released a new set of materials that details the available capital options for small-to-medium climate businesses. The Climate Capital Guidebook simplifies finding and understanding the various climate programs introduced through recent legislation, such as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Act and the Inflation Reduction Act. These programs include cooperative agreements, grants, loans, and loan guarantees. The federal funding available applies to both start-up and established businesses.
This guidebook aims to streamline the process for climate businesses to take full advantage of all recent opportunities that may have been obscured in larger legislation. It adds to the existing guidebooks for federal climate funding while including prominent information in those copies. The 24 most applicable programs are listed at the beginning of the guidebook.
